#AskDrKK:Dr KK’s Formula of 10 in cardiac arrest

Within 10 minutes of cardiac arrest for the next 10 minutes compress the center of the chest (as hard as one can) with a speed of 10x10 = 100/minute and do not stop chest compression for more than 10 seconds ( for using a defibrillator to give an electric shock).

#AskDrKK: What are the methods of treating heart blockages?

#DrKKAnswers:

The methods of treatment can be understood by “Dr KK’s formula of easing out traffic congestion”. In any traffic one uses green and red lights to discipline the traffic; post a traffic inspector to divert the traffic; hire an architect to see the status of the roads; o widening of the arteries and build fly over or underpasses with or without stopping the traffic.

In terms of heart blockages green and red light indicates correcting and to discipline the life style. Red light indicate don’ts in life and green light indicates do’s in life.

Hiring of a traffic inspector indicates hiring a cardiologist to prescribe drugs to reduce the demand and increase the blood supply and divert the flow to smaller channels through drugs.

Hiring the architect means hiring an interventional cardiologist to do angiography to know the extent of blockages and the alternative repair procedures available.

Widening of the roads means opening the blocked arteries with balloon angioplasty. To prevent re encroachment of the roads railings are put on the roads. In terms of heart blockades it is equivalent to open the artery with balloon and put a metallic stent.

When a stent is put it can be bare metal stent or a drug eluting stent. Drugs are eluted on a metallic stent to prevent formation of a clot over them. Now a days instead of using drug eluting stents some cardiologists are eluting the baloons with the drugs so that either they can avoid a stent altogether or put a bare metal stent after that to reduce the cost.

Finally if stent cannot be put building fly over is equated to doing a bypass surgery.

#AskDrKK: What are the causes of the heart blockages?

#DrKKAnswers: Heart blockages are caused by faulty life style. Wild animals do not get heart blockages as they live in accordance with the laws of nature. To develop heart blockages one need to work against the laws of nature for over a decade.

The chances of heart attack can be detected by knowing Dr KK’s formula of eighty. Anybody with fasting sugar, lower blood pressure, bad cholesterol levels, abdominal circumference and resting heart rate of more than 80 have more chances of getting a heart attack. To reduce the chances one should walk 80 minutes a day, with the sped of 80 steps per minute; eat less than 80 mg or ml of caloric food each meal, drink less than 80 ml alcohol if cannot stop, do 8-0 cycles of pranayama a day and take 80 mg aspirin if prescribed.

Another formula is “Dr KK’s formula of 2” and that is a person who can climb 2 flights of stairs’ walk 2 kilometers or has performed sex with his partners on last two occasions without getting any symptoms is not at risk.
